Senior Software Engineer at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees

Collaboration works seamlessly and automation supports efficient file sharing

I work as a software engineer in fraud prevention projects where I function primarily as a data engineer. I work with data warehouses, which are centralized storage systems where transactions through databases occur and data from various client sources is consolidated. Amazon WorkDocs can be integrated with AWS Lambda and used with step functions. If publishing with SNS, WorkDocs can subscribe to SNS as well. The integration capabilities of WorkDocs with other AWS services are strong. For access, we use Okta with our AWS account, and we can only log in through our laptops. We authenticate and access whatever services we are authorized to use from the company. Mobile access is not allowed. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Amazon WorkDocs an 8.

Secure collaboration has transformed remote work and now protects sensitive data across devices

Recently, I implemented FileCloud to host our data externally using HTTPS instead of placing our data on a third-party cloud solution or using VPN technologies. It's being used by our entire department to access the data on our file server of our organization. With a lot of our staff members working remotely and on the move, this solution helps our staff members access their data on our secured central servers without having to use VPN technologies. I love it because we can access our internal file server data from anywhere on the planet as long as we're connected to an internet connection. I also love it because we are able to use the mobile application, which is a very robust and intuitive application. Some of the best features that FileCloud offers include an intuitive mobile application. The user interface is very easy to customize and user-friendly. File synchronization, storage, and archiving are very easy. Document management is great. Content search and retrieval are great. Enterprise content collaboration is on point, together with the security and risk management and information governance. FileCloud stands out especially because it provides secure data storage and real-time synchronization capabilities. We can easily synchronize files across devices, manage document versions, and access files on the go through the mobile app. I also love it because it provides enterprise-grade security features such as two-factor authentication and other features which ensure the security of our data and files is top-notch. FileCloud has positively impacted our organization as this tool has been very easy to use. Therefore, regarding any technical survey, personnel can use it. It has a very intuitive and user-friendly interface, which makes the learning curve very smooth. It also provides enterprise-grade security features like two-factor authentication, which ensures our data security and file data has really improved from fifty to seventy-five percent. We've been able to collaborate on files, especially because of the secure sharing of data with both external and internal customers and clients. It has made it very useful for remote workers and facilitates effective collaboration.

"FileCloud has been a very positive experience overall."

"The granularity for the audit log in FileCloud is extremely valuable."

Cons

"I had a very bitter experience with their mobile app."

"The auditing features of Amazon WorkDocs have not helped meet compliance needs."

"However, one area that it should improve is that the updates need to be more constant, especially to the file drive."

"The price can be a little higher for smaller organizations, but for medium to large enterprises, the price is very cost-effective and affordable."

"Currently, FileCloud's compatibility for Linux implementation is limited to only Ubuntu or Red Hat Enterprise Server."
